Not really. Illuminate was willing to peacefully interact with Humans, Earth caused the war by attacking them first to steal their advanced technology. Cyborgs are human rebels that want to seceede or at worst convert rest of humanity into their Cyborg socialism. Bugs could have been wiped out if Super Earth hadn't decided to domesticate them because their corpses is a very useful biofuel for vehicles and FTL drives. Super Earth isn't genocidal either. It enslaved defeated Cyborgs and Bugs. Illuminates are also alive just that their technology is confiscated and empire dismantled/disarmed. With exception of bugs it is just three rival totalitarian governments fighting for control. Bugs are just animals.

@pantomathic7367

Exactly how I felt. I learned literally nothing about the lore.

I wonder if the hell divers themselves ever think about what they're doing on these planets far from home. I get a odd feeling when I'm states away from my place, I can only imagine what it's like to be on a totally different planet, where everything is trying to kill you. I wonder if some of these divers have ever even seen super earth, the home they're told that they're defending. Maybe that's part of the reason the cyborgs defected? All in all I really like this subtle way of telling the story through the actions of the character directly, it is not something you see much of these days.

Don't become a propaganda sympathizer it blocks the shine of democracy

Very nice! I don't think anyone else has focused on this aspect of Helldivers. Just went and dug this game out again. Thinking I may need to get the sequel that just launched soon. Just need to wait a minute and see how the network issues pan out. I really hope you do a review of the recently released sequel.

Actually I think Super Earth is in serious trouble, if you notice we are trying to 'tie up' 3 hostile factions by constantly attacking them with small groups of special forces 'networked' to various support fires to make up for our numerical inferiority, and as you play the galactic war, we actually get invaded. The entire propaganda machine serves to make the effort heroic, instead of the reality of how horrific of a situation they are in.

That was part of the impression I got. That the Helldivers were a solution akin to the Spartan III's of Halo. Disposable soldiers deployed to wage a resource efficiency war. They aren't the best, they aren't well armed, trained or equipped... until someone survives a brutally Darwinian selection process of trial by fire. That and the scale of this operation suggests to me that the situation is drastically worse than Super Earth's management are willing to admit. They have one resource to burn, and it's population. Very 40k Imperial guard feeling going on. (just, less religion.)

this is similar to the the helldivers book series but stil a completly different story and universe i have no idea if one whas inspired by the other or not ...

idk what the sub buffer sound that was happening but it was making me crazy its like a pulse throughout the video :(

Thank you for your insight! I recently started playing Helldivers 2, and merely thought of it as a blend of both Starship Troopers and Enders Game, without really reflecting upon what those stories actually touched upon and invited the readers think about - protectionism and re-preventionism in the thinly veiled guise of 'our way is the only way'. Your video made me reflect upon nature, ants specifically - some use aphids to farm, others are extremely territorial, but all make use of air conditioning through placing their waste in one hole which leads to the surface, which, in turn, funnels cooler air into the tunnels. All, however, can be considered pests if in the right (or wrong) circumstance. We can all agree, for instance, that ticks and parasites suck, at least until we consider the symbiosis that our gut bacteria provide (and we them). Awesome video 18:28 ! Sorry for being long-winded! ❤

I feel this is less of an explanation of the *story* and more of a breakdown of the story themes. A good video, but not what I clicked on it for.

@t-money1984

And yet people mistake the meaning of those movies all the time. Starship Troopers features shot-for-shot recreations of Nazi propaganda films, like teaching children to handle firearms, but fans that don’t know that or take the time to reflect or investigate further would only see it as the full-throated endorsement of war that it appears to be on the surface. Satire itself can be a paradox; it has to imitate the subject matter well in order to be effective, but the better the imitation the more likely the intended message will be completely missed or misunderstood.

Lorewise, Super Earth has caused every single war with the other 3 races. The Illumini are invaded by super earth because they are accused of having WMDS. We invade the bugs because their nests are a fuel source for our ships. And the cyborgs are literally second class citizens due to being cyborgs and pushed into terrorist cells that are a stark reflection on the dystopian ethnostate that is Super Earth.

This does not sound like a story summery.

Honestly came looking to learn lore for this game. Instead this comes off as mostly a quick summary of alien types with little to no lore on the story at all. Great explanation on factions and great insight on morality. This just doesn’t come off as a story explained. It feels more of a game review than lore dive.

Where is the story?

Glory to super earth, this is a cyborg video

I think the biggest commentary here goes back to a paraphrased quote from Aristotle, iirc, that "Democracies lead to tyranny, not tyranny of one individual, but tyranny of the masses" this is in reference to direct democracies whether aristocratic or demographic. It's funny to me, when people say stuff like "our democracy, our democracy" when they don't realize, at least as it pertains to these United States, the use of the term "democracy" is a fallacy, because we are a Representative Republic that, if adhered to the constitutional founding documents, _should_ balance the population in proportion to the local, municipal, and state locale and human landscape. However, with the advent of (malicious IMO) use of semantics to call us a "Democracy" in effort to socially engineer the larger and more concentrated city and inner-city areas to disproportionately effect those who do not live in it. This becomes exacerbated once you go into a global, solar, and then inter-solar scale. The idea of homogenous thought; coerced, enforced, and/or encouraged is much easier if you use the "mob mentality" against the mob, any deviations from the common thought or "zeitgeist" is to be pushed off as irrelevant at best, and conspiratorial at worst.
